Letters Patent No. 98,291, dated December 28, 1869.

SPIDER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the sameA To all whom 'it may concern: y

. .Be it known that I, ELIAS NAS'HOLD, of Rockford, in the county of' Winnebago, and State ot'Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Spiders and I do hereby declare 'that the following is a full and exact description ot' the same, reference being had to the. accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

`This invention has for its object the production of an improved kitchen-utensil, commonly known as the in any proper form andof any suitable material.

B represents the bail-rod, constructed inthe ordinary manner, and attached to the spider in any desired way.y It is provided with the wooden handle b, which turns freely thereon as usual.

C represents a bent rod, which is rigidly attached to the handle l), as shown.

-c represents a U-project-ion of said'rod, to which is -day ofNoveniber, 1869.'

attached the upper end of the brace-rod D, as shown, the lower end ot' which latter isattached to the spider in any proper manner.

The operation is as follows: l

The spider may be carried about by the bail, similarly to a bucket orother similar vessel. l

When it is desired to empty its contents, the hand is turned in such manner as to elevate the rear end of therod C, by which Ineans the brace-rod is drawn up, the rear side ot the spider elevated, audits contents thus necessarily discharged. A

The wooden handle enables the spider' to be held without danger ot burning the hands, and its location above the spider, prevents it from coming in Contact with the person ofthe oook.

The front of the spider is left entirely open, so that its contents may bed'eadily reached,

In this construction, the long, awkward handle of the old form is dispensed with, and a neat and rconipact utensil is produced.

Having thus fully described my invent-ion, l

j What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination ot` a bail and brace-rod with a. spider, as desoribed5tor the purpose setforth.

This specitication signed and witnessed,- this 5th ELIAS NASHOLD.
